Figure 7.

(a) Schematic showing the fabrication process of nanotroughs. Polymer nanofiber web made by electrospinning is coated with selected materials. Once the fibers are coated, they are laminated on substrates, and then polymer-fiber template is removed by immersing it in water or in an organic solvent. (b) Left: A SEM image showing gold nanotrough networks. Right: A SEM image showing a junction between two different nanotroughs. (c) Cross-sectional view of a SEM image of a gold nanotrough. (d) Prepared gold nanotroughs can be transferred onto diverse substrates. Left to right: Pictures showing gold nanotroughs on a glass slide, PET, paper, textile, and a curved glass flask, respectively.
